Seeing Yang Fan burst into tears of gratitude, Li Shimin felt secretly happy.
This kid usually looks like he has no desires and needs, but now he is not surrendering to his domineering power.
When people are proud, their tails tend to curl up!
His Majesty Li Er was very happy, waved his hand, turned to the ministers and said: "The loyalty and righteous uncle's offering of Zhenguan potatoes is a meritorious service. This merit is in the present time and will benefit the auspiciousness of the future. I am proud of the Tang Dynasty. This is the blessing of the people."
; In order to show the importance of the imperial court, in addition to what I just promised, I plan to let Uncle Zhongyi join the political affairs hall to serve as a counselor. What do you all think?"
Li Shimin was confused and spoke a little uncontrollably.
Even if he is the emperor, it is impossible to decide who will be allowed to enter the political hall, not to mention that Yang Fan is still a teenage boy.
Sure enough, just when he was feeling proud, Li Shimin suddenly heard someone coughing and stood up from the crowd on the left.
As soon as he heard the voice, Li Shimin knew that something bad was going to happen. He felt a thump in his heart, knowing that he had just been too proud.
The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch. It was obvious that the stubborn old man Wei Zheng was going to sing the opposite tune again.
It's really a headache.
Faced with a high-yielding crop like Zhenguan potatoes, I couldn't hide my pride for a while, and I was a little bit arrogant.
What should I do if this old guy grabs the painful spot again?
What the hell, the New Year coincides with such a huge happy event as auspiciousness coming from the sky, can't this old guy let us be proud of ourselves?
Li Shimin had a gloomy face, flicked his sleeves and robe and returned to the dragon chair.
A pair of tiger eyes stared closely at Wei Zheng who came out. He gritted his teeth and said displeasedly: "Ai Qing, do you have anything to say? Do you think I am wrong?"
Looking at Wei Zheng, who had a Chinese character face and wrinkles gradually covering his face, Li Shimin was so angry that his teeth itched.
As long as I feel a little happy or proud, this old guy will come out to find trouble. He is already very old, why is he still so angry?
Besides, isn’t this old guy tired of finding faults with himself for half his life?
Can't you change your tactics and obey yourself for once?
But when I saw Wei Zheng's slightly rickety figure, his hair had begun to turn white, I felt sad again.
As expected, time is not forgiving.
Recalling the time when the king and his ministers met, this old man was still a high-spirited middle-aged man.
Now that we have entered our twilight years, time really flies!
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin's complicated and sad eyes, how could he not know what he was thinking.
Although the two have respected each other for ten years, and even sometimes refused to give in to each other, they still cherish each other.
He stood in the court as a remonstrator, and the people praised him for his integrity and received numerous praises.
But Wei Zheng knew that only the broad-minded emperor in front of him could listen to his loyal advice.
It was His Majesty Li Er who indirectly achieved his reputation of being upright and not afraid of power.
If it were any other emperor, he would have been beheaded long ago or even had his family confiscated and his family exterminated.
In front of me, His Majesty Li Er went from being a romantic young man when we first met him to becoming a heroic figure later on.
The Tang Dynasty also went from the people having little to eat to the country being peaceful and peaceful, from being short of major generals to now having strong soldiers and horses.
However, now I am also old.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Do we really have to be stubborn and obstinate for the rest of our lives, and take pride in refuting and embarrassing this wise and mighty Majesty all our lives?
Today Wei Zheng was confused and hesitant.
His Majesty Li Er is a famous monarch through the ages, with a broad mind and a clear sense of rewards and punishments...
The achievements he has made through hard work and hard work every day over the years have long destined him to be an emperor who will leave his name in history.
But before Wei Zheng could finish feeling his feelings, Yang Fan jumped out first and said with a wry smile:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am young and ignorant, and my abilities are limited. I would never dare to accept such an important task. If I miss a major event of the imperial court, I will be responsible for my death!"
Yang Fan's actions surprised Li Shimin, but he was more relieved. In fact, he also found that he had been too hasty.
Because although Yang Fan is talented, his background is too shallow. It is not a good thing to rush into the center of power.
Of course Yang Fan also discovered it, so that's why he said what he just said.
Although Li Shimin said it nicely, he didn't want to think about what kind of place the political hall was.
There is no one who can get inside who is not a big boss.
There are countless forces behind these people, and they even have a certain prince supporting them.
Where is Yang Fan?
A little minister of etiquette!
Even though he is a time traveler, Yang Fan is not so arrogant that he can achieve success as soon as he enters the officialdom.
What's more, entering the political hall does not mean unlimited glory.
The struggle for power inside is more complicated and dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the abyss and even be broken into pieces.
Because it involves entangled interests from all sides.
With Yang Fan's current qualifications and background, he would only be used as cannon fodder.
Yang Fan would never dare to get involved without complete psychological preparation.
Although he has more than a thousand years of experience than these ancients, Yang Fan is just a toddler when it comes to officialdom.
If he hadn't had more knowledge, he would have been eaten by these old foxes long ago, and no bones would be left.
Wei Zheng glanced at Yang Fan with some surprise. This boy was indeed not simple.
It is not easy to withstand such temptation at such a young age.
If it were an ordinary person, receiving such praise and promotion from Li Shimin, he would have been in trouble for a long time.
Such young and underachieving people are the future pillars of the imperial court. Don't let them fall into imperial strife early and be destroyed.
That's all, I have been stubborn all my life and I don't have a single friend in the court.
Before reaching old age, perhaps you should do something for the court, retain some talents, and make more good connections. It is also a good thing.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and I agree with it, but the Zhengshitang is the center of the imperial court. Every word and deed represents the will of the imperial court. Uncle Zhongyi is still young and should gain more experience at the grassroots level."
, Only then can we be entrusted with important responsibilities. Today at the great court meeting, the loyal and righteous uncles presented Zhenguan potatoes for their meritorious service. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty, and the common people."
The ministers were slightly stunned, but they did not expect that Wei Zheng did not sing the opposite.
Although he opposed Yang Fan's entry into the Political Hall, he did not give in to His Majesty Li Er, which was a bit surprising.
But everyone was not slow and quickly shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty..."
The loud voice echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, and even the officials waiting in the hall could hear it clearly.
Although everyone didn't know what was going on, following the crowd and flattering the public was the most basic thing to do in an officialdom. At that moment, everyone shouted along in unison.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Hundreds of officials shouted in unison, and the waves of sound spread throughout the Tai Chi Palace and soared into the sky.
Li Shimin's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his tiger eyes slowly swept over the faces of the ministers, and finally stopped on Wei Zheng's face.
Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has been working diligently and diligently without daring to slack off in the slightest.
He didn't even dare to show a trace of pride in front of Wei Zheng, for fear of being made trouble by this old troll.
Every time he faced Wei Zheng's merciless criticism, Li Shimin wanted to crush this old guy to ashes right away.
But he also understood that if you want to be a good emperor, you must be kind and open-minded, so he often did not blame Wei Zheng.
The problem is, the emperor is a human being too!
As long as we are human, we will have joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and we will also want the approval and praise of others.
Facing something like Zhenguan Sweet Potato that can speed up the realization of his own hegemony, His Majesty Li Er was indeed a little carried away just now.
Just when he was about to accept Wei Zheng's rebuke, the old man unexpectedly stopped singing the opposite tune.
At this moment, His Majesty Li Er felt that the depression that had accumulated for ten years was finally released, and he felt so relieved.
I have to say that people are just bitches.
If someone else had said something in agreement, His Majesty Li Er would be overjoyed, but he felt it was normal.
After all, as an emperor, don’t you hear too many good words?
But when these words were spoken from the mouth of Wei Zheng, who always played a different tune, the effect was completely different.
This old guy actually complimented and congratulated himself, and His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing.
He walked straight down the steps, held Wei Zheng's hand affectionately, and asked politely: "Since Aiqing also thinks that Zhenguan potatoes are a good thing, and Uncle Zhongyi is still young and needs more experience, how should I reward him?"
"Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and he has his own judgment. No matter how he is rewarded, the old ministers are convinced. However, Uncle Zhongyi is a rising star with extraordinary talents and devoted himself to serving the country and the people. Now he is in a high position. The old ministers think it is not appropriate to promote him for the time being, so he can be conferred the title of Lord as appropriate.
." Wei Zheng expressed his attitude directly.
Li Shimin felt so comfortable.
If this old guy had been so sensible earlier, I wouldn't have suffered for so many years.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand angrily and said: "Any meritorious deeds shall be rewarded, and delinquencies shall be punished. With such great deeds, how can I be a person who ignores rewards and punishments? I confer Yang Fan as the Loyal and Righteous Marquis of Wannian County. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise!" all the ministers shouted in unison.
Yang Fan glanced at Wei Zheng in surprise, not expecting that this historical figure known for his integrity would actually help him.
If he were to become a counselor at the Political Affairs Hall as Li Shimin said, others would definitely try their best to suppress Yang Fan, a yellow-haired boy.
Now Wei Zheng has spoken out against it, seemingly to prevent Yang Fan from being promoted, but in fact it indirectly provides Yang Fan with protection.
All the blame turned to Wei Zheng again. No one in the civil and military circles in the court wanted to tangle with Wei Zheng, an old troll, unless necessary.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but Li Tai quits!
This Bang Chui not only wants to build ships and docks in his own fiefdom, but now he has been promoted to Marquis.
It's really embarrassing that I act like a clown in a one-man show just to make trouble.
Li Tai gritted his teeth and glanced at Yang Fan, then turned to Li Shimin and reminded: "Father, many envoys from the vassal states are still waiting outside to see them. I don't know..."
